Scandic Jyvskyl Hotel has a splendid location in the city center so the guest can explore the near by territory. Our rooms are airy and comfortable & five meeting rooms adapt flexibly to various events. The WLAN service for fast wireless broadband access is available in all meeting rooms and the lobby, as well as in some bedrooms. The Scala restaurant serves excellent food and is recommended by the Chane des Rotisseurs. A spiral staircase leads up from the lobby to the main restaurant, which like most of the public areas is very well lit, due to the angled windows. The colours used are soft, with greens and browns heavily used to compliment the variety of plants dotted around the hotel. The Colonial Food Factory & Bar is a relaxed restaurant for good time, food and drinks. Enjoy tapas, pasta, burgers, salads and meals from the grill, with a twist of Indian and Mediterranean flavours. We welcome to your bright and airy 22-25 sqm traditional room with city views and marble bathroom. We at Scandic have long been involved in water improvement initiatives. In 2005, we were one of the founders of the Stockholm Water Prize, an international accolade awarded by the Stockholm Water Foundation every year. The prize goes to a person, organisation or institution for outstanding achievement in water-related activities. We used to transport nearly four million bottles of water to our hotels. Per year! That is of course unsustainable, which is why we are now investing in the best water there is – our own tap water.We used to sell around 1.2 million litres of water a year at our hotels. That is equivalent to 3.6 million 33 cl bottles. With our own water, we estimate that we will cut carbon emissions by 160 tonnes per year, based on our earlier volume of sales. We like statistics and record all our consumption of energy and water and our production of unsorted waste and carbon emissions. Work out your own environmental contribution with our online calculator. Omtanke is a concept close to our hearts hear at Scandic – care and consideration both for people and the environment. Over the years, we have received many awards for our environmental and sustainability work. This shows that we are on the right path and spurs us to take our work on these issues even further. Here are just some of the awards and accolades we and our guests have received for our recent environmental and sustainability work. In March 2007, Scandic won the Swedish Grand Travel Awards prize for “Best Environmental Work”. The awards were based on Sweden’s largest survey of Swedish travel agents, carried out by Fürst Scandinavian Research. The respondents were asked to spontaneously say who they thought the leading players were in environmental work.
